Application filed4 October 3, 1919. Serial No. 328,099.

vide a self inkingstamp of .simple7 inexpensive construction wherein the sinking padY will be continuously held in engagement Awith the stamp when in normal position therebyinsuring the proper inking of the stamp and besides preventing exposure of the inking surface of the pad to the atmosphere. "1

'An object of the invention is to provide a simple construction of few parts for movingV the inking pad to a non-interfering position whenthe stamp is in stamping position.`

lith these and other objects in view the invention will be better understood from the following detailed description taken in con-f nection with the accompanying `drawing` wherein: I

Figure 1 isa side elevation of the device in normal position.

Fig. 2 is kside elevation. in l stamping position. f l Y Fig. 3 is a detailed sectional view on the line 3 3 of Fig. l.

Again referringl to the drawing` illustratingl one of the many forms in which my invention may be constructed, the numeral 1 designates a base provided with upstandingears Q and 3. The ears 2 are pivotallyY connected to an arm t hereinafter known as the pad arm. The ears 3 are pivotally connected to an arm hereinafter known asthe stamp arm. A spring G'has one end connected to the arm 4 and the other end connected to the base actiing` in a manner to hold the arms Ll and 5 in a vertical position shownin Fin'. l. The upper end of the arm lhas connected thereto an inking pad 7 Whilethe upper end of the arm hasffixed thereto a handle 8 that is in turn connected to a ,50.

Yously engage and cover theinking surface stamp 9; arranged so that it will continuof the pad 7 when the parts are in normal position. Y

For the purpose of controllingl the relative movement of the arms when moving` toward stamping position, I provide a link l0 pivotally connected at its ends to the arms with a result that when pressure is applied to the handle 8 both arms are 'moved but the relative movement will be regulated so that the pad 7 lwill move to non-obstructing' positionwhen the stamp 9 is in Vstamping position. To facilitate thecoperation of the arms, the arm 5 is provided with a slot 11 through which moves: the arm 4.

From the foregoing description taken in Y connection with the accompanying drawdevice of simple, inexpensive construction wherein upon Areturn of the stamp to normal position the surface thereof will be immediping, it should be apparent that l provide af ately inked so that complete printing will i stamping` position. It is of course to be understood that the parts may be constructed in other manners and associated in :be assured when the stamp is thrown tol other relations and therefore I do not cle-- sire `to be limited in any mannerV except as set forth in the claims hereunto appended.

Having described my invention, what I claim isl. A stamping ing pad, a stamping element including` a handle, a pair of arms crossing` each other -at an angle. one. connected to saidhandle device comprising an inkand the other to said pad,` a base pivotallyA supportingI the arms, a spring vacting,` against one of the arms and a link connecting' the y arms together for the purpose set forth.V

'2. In a stamping),` device, a base, two arms pivoted at Vtheir lower ends to the base and oi'ossingeach other intermediate their ends whenl raised, an inking pad secured to the upper end of one of said arms, a stamp car- ,ried on the other arm and positioned to contact with said pad when the arms are raised,

a link connecting said arms adjacent their upper ends, and means for normally holding the arnis'raised so as to hold the stamp and j ypad in contact with each other.

ln testimony whereof I arliX my signature. .JOHN Br HACKENDAHL..
